I've never done it, but my understanding is that for HFS+, going case-sensitive is not a simple flip of a switch, but you have to actually make a new filesystem. Given that complexity, and the fact tha= t some other apps might not like it, your best bet might be to create a new case-sensitive filesystem in a loopback file, and then mount that just for this project. I'm not sure of the exact commands under OS X, but I'm sure some googling could probably turn up a solution. -Peff
